SAFETY WARNINGS
INSTALLATION / SAFETY INFORMATION: READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS USER GUIDE COMPLETELY BEFORE
INSTALLING OR USING THIS PRODUCT!!
FIRE HAZARD: Keep cooking equipment and controller a safe distance from all sources of ignition including
buildings, cars, furniture, flammable gases and liquids, and anything that may ignite from heat or embers
created during the cooking process.
FIRE HAZARD: If the cook apparatus is to be used on a combustible surface such as a wooden deck,
always place the cooker on a non-flammable pad intended for this purpose.
FIRE HAZARD: Always have a fire extinguisher on Hand. Call your local Fire Company in the case of an
emergency, before any fire gets out of control. Never leave a lit cooker unattended.
EXPLOSION HAZARD: NEVER throw water on a grease fire in the cooker. After completing a cook, the
fire may be extinguished be closing all dampers and doors, suffocating the combustion.
FIRE HAZARD: Keep cooker clean, and free of grease or fat build up. Change drip trays during a cook
cycle to reduce flammable fats or grease in the cooker to a minimum.
EXPLOSION HAZARD: Smoke can combust when oxygen is introduced, producing severe burns. ALWAYS
use caution when opening the lid or door of your cooking apparatus.
CAUTION: HOT SURFACES are present during and after cook. Always wear protective clothing when
tending the cooker, dumping a firebox, handling food, the temperature probes, fan or mounting hardware.
FIRE HAZARD: Equipment failure can result in excessive temperatures. Always inspect your fan and probe
and wires for damage and replace any damaged parts before use.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD: Dangerous high voltages are present. Do not use the product power
supply if visibly damaged. Keep power supply dry, and off the ground. Avoid using an extension cord. If
an extension cord is used, the extension cord must be rated for outdoor use.
CAUTION: Keep controller dry. Spilled liquids, rain or excessive humidity can damage electronics and
create a hazardous condition. During adverse weather, the control may be operated from within a plastic
bag, sealed as completely as possible.
CAUTION: There are no user serviceable parts inside the controller unit. Opening or making unauthorized
modifications may cause equipment failure, creating a hazardous condition.
CAUTION: Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish, or eggs may increase your
risk of foodborne illness. Use a redundant thermometer to verify operation of controller operation. Check
food for doneness with a food thermometer before consumption.
CAUTION: To satisfy exposure requirements for mobile and base station transmission devices, a
separation distance of 20 cm or more should be maintained between the antenna of this device and
persons during operation. To ensure compliance, operation at closer than this distance is not
recommended. The antenna used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter.

PROBES
The probes provided with your CyberQ Cloud are precision stainless steel ther-
mocouples, rated for temperatures up to 500 degrees F. and have a moisture
and smoke resistant stainless steel armor braid. Be careful not to kink these
wires or let them come in contact with flames.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Be sure to fully insert your probes into the control by
pushing the plug in until you feel and hear it snap in place. Failing to plug the
probes in securely, may cause sporadic temperature readings causing your
cooker to get excessively hot.
Prior to use, inspect the probe and cable for signs of heat or mechanical
damage. If a probe appears damaged, replace it with a back up and contact
BBQ Guru Customer Service.
POWER DRAFT BLOWERS (FANS)
The 10 CFM Pit Viper fan is suited to medium-sized grills and smokers, including
all ceramic grills and bullet-style smokers.
The 25 CFM Pit Bull fan is suited to offset smokers and larger cabinet smokers;
two fans can be used for large custom built and trailer-based models.
All blowers are equipped with an adjustable damper and an aluminum nozzle. This
feature allows the user to make fine adjustments on their own grill or smoker due
to natural drafts that effect cooking temperature.
 Open the damper fully for quick start-up or grilling at high temperatures.
 Close it half way for smaller cookers or low and slow cooking.
 Close three-quarters of the way for cold smoking.
 Close all the way to kill the fire.
MOUNTING AND SETUP
The CyberQ Cloud should be placed in a stable position with easy access to the
controls and protected from the elements. Connect the fan and probes before
connecting the power. Routinely inspect the unit, probes and wiring for damage.
Contact BBQ guru Customer service for repair or replacement.

The output percent is not changeable. It is computed by the control.
The ‘*’ character is shown next to the output % value when the fan is blowing.
 TIP: During your cook if you notice the output percentage hovering around 80-100% for
a long time, you may be running out of charcoal. If you notice the output % hanging around
10% for a long time, and the temperature is oscillating, you may want to close the blower
damper adjustment slightly for better control.
